Mr. Speaker, the new criteria do not meet international standards, so where is this going?
The government refuses to release its report on Saudi Arabia's improper use of Canadian vehicles, allegations that have been confirmed by the Saudis themselves. The minister has even stated that she will not re-evaluate the existing arms export permits, despite evidence of human rights violations.
How can the government claim to have a progressive and feminist foreign policy when it continues to sell weapons to Saudi Arabia?
